With my 25th birthday quickly approaching, I decided it was time to sit down and reflect on what the past year has taught me.

Hi Friends!Happy Monday!

September + October Favorites Hey friends! I haven’t written a “Weekly Gems” post since mid-September so I thought I’d do a round up of all my favorite things from then until now :)I actually don’t have too many things to talk about this month. As I mentioned in my last post, this new season of life has been a tad bit busy + overwhelming so looking back everything is kind of a blur.
